I'm getting alot done with my youngling's away (please forgive me the Star Wars expression, but it's permanently embedded in my brain - Thanks YODA)!! What a great color combination for this challenge - looks like summer for sure - maybe some cool cocktails?! We are in the middle of a heat wave here in the midwest so I'm not tempted to stay outdoors for long periods. I'm out long enough to please the dog and my garden - everything looks so wilted. I hope my beautiful flowers return soon - for now I will have to settle for Mona's sweetie's photos!

I finally got my hands on some rayon seam binding so I got to make a fabulous bow. None of the fabric stores around here carry this stuff so I had to let my fingers do the walking on line. It comes in so many great colors it was hard to decide. I love all the great names like Elegant Peacock Blue, Mimosa Yellow and Tobacco Brown. It's hard to pick out colors without actually seeing the product. I got lucky that I picked this great dark pink called Summer Rose, it is the perfect Dark Pink for this card. I hope you like it!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
